Foreword

This White Paper provides the basis for putting the Global Initiative on Children's Environmental Health Indicators (CEHI), launched at the World Summit on Sustainable Development, into practice. This roadmap outlines the operational and technical processes for implementing the development, collection and reporting of indicators at the regional and country level.

We also extend our gratitude to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for their continued financial support of CEHI.
